Fayerberg, MSEd, LMHC-D, CCTP Daniel Fayerberg, LMHC is a licensed mental health counselor who provides online diagnostic evaluations at Brightline. His approach is evidence-based and deeply individualized, shaped by each child's needs, strengths, culture, and goals, and informed by his experience in private practice and school settings. Daniel works most often with kids and families navigating ADHD, anxiety, and trauma, as well as many who identify as LGBTQ+. His background includes individual and family therapy, evaluations, crisis support, school collaboration, and caregiver education. Families can expect a compassionate, collaborative space where concerns are taken seriously and where treatment focuses on strategies that work in real life. What draws Daniel to this work is personal. He understands firsthand how much it matters to identify and address mental health concerns early, and that belief shapes every evaluation he conducts. ## Professional Summary - **Education:**  - Masters of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling (MSEd), Hunter College - Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), SUNY Empire State College - Master of Arts in English Literature (MA), Brooklyn College - Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (BFA), Brooklyn College - **Therapeutic approaches and certification(s): **Rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT-certified), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), somatic experiencing - **License Type(s): **Licensed Mental Health Counselor - Diagnostic Privilege (LMHC-D) - **States where clinician is licensed**: New York (007301) - **Experience: ** - School Mental Health Consultant, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene - Founder/Clinical Director, Solace Mental Health Counseling Services, P.C. - **Training: ** - Intern, Sylvia’s Place, MCCNY - Intern Cooper Mental Health Counseling, New York - Primary Certificate - Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Albert Ellis Institute - Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, International Association of Trauma Professionals - 3-Day Discovering Motivational Interviewing, R.
